Listbox entry with spacing

[AnNguyen]

I need help with the listbox entry that has spacing.
I can add entry alright, but the list box only keep the first space between words and omit the other no matter what
for example Input the following
1: This is the first Item (with space)
will show you
1: This is the first Item (with space)

if you use Ascii encode for the space
2: This is the%20%20%20second&#32&#32Item%20%20With encode
the list will show you exactly as above

Please some one help me out with this. I use VS 2003 and IE 5/6 (ASP.NET).

Thank you all in advance.

Check the page source, it is HtmlEncoding   as   for you? How are you setting the text on the listbox?

Thank you
I found the solution, and here it is:

char nbsp = (char) 0xA0;
for (int i = 0; i < DS.Tables[0]Rows.Count; i++)
{
ListItem lI = new ListItem();
lI.Text = DS.Tables[0].Rows[1].ToString();
int l = lI.Text.Length;

for (int n=lI.Text.Length; n < 30; n++)
lI.Text += nbsp;
lI.Text += DS.Tables[0].Rows[2].ToString().Trim();
for (int n=lI.Text.Length; n < 70 ; n++)
lI.Text += nbsp;

lI.Value = DS.Tables[0].Rows[0].ToString();
lstFiles.Items.Insert(i,lI);
}

for icrf I check the page source the HtmlCoding is what you mention, and how and where to set the text onthe list box? would you elaborate on this.

thank again
